When I first heard his name was Stewart, I also thought Stuart Little, one of my favorite childhood books. Then I saw the spelling Stewart (not that he can spell!), on his paperwork and all as I can think about is Stewart Convenience stores which are huge (as you might know being from New...

As some of you have read, I am getting a new mini in a week or so. He is about 8 and has gone by the name Stewart for 2 of those years (at 2 different facilities). Stewart is a fine name, but I am not fond of it for a horse. Have any of you folks changed a horses' name once you acquired them...

With tears in my eyes thank you with regard to my decision about Cooper. I'll try to move forward and not worry about him too much, but I will keep tabs on him at the rescue, if I can. I really care about him. Once I get my new horse home, I'll let him settled in. Once settled I'll have the...

I purchased a mini today to be a part of my little herd. I will have Cooper trailered back to the rescue center that he came from and on the same day and at the same time, have the new one trailered to home. I'm actually trying to say this often, so I get use to it happening. Anyway, this...

Thank you and good luck with your decision.

I am sorry that you find yourself in a similar situation to mine and for the affect that it’s having on Mint. It is horrible to be in this position. I have had Cooper for 1-1/2 yrs. now, but things are not getting any better, as I hoped they would. As I have contemplated this decision for the...

Thanks for the congrats. His name is Stuart, but I think I'd like to change it. Nothing against the name, I just don't think I like it for a horse.

After 1 month of contemplating and soul searching as to whether or not I should return my horse Cooper to the rescue he came from, I have decided that I should. For my safety and my donks safety. I still don’t feel settled in my decision, but I think it will be best for my little herd and for...

Welcome from Connecticut.

Welcome from NW Connecticut. Your Mini/Pony is beautiful.

My mini Lady, age 28, died almost 3 years ago and I still miss her daily. When I go the barn and see her halter, her name on her stall door or even look into the back yard I still feel her presence. My grief for her use to be almost unbearable. For months, I wondered if I could have done...

Should be in the 50"s during the day here in NW Connecticut, however Friday and Saturday it was 90 degrees! Crazy. Today it is 63 degrees, so a little closer to normal for this time of year. I've been making and installing new gates in my paddocks the last few days, but in 90 degrees the...

I’ve had my donks most of their lives, over 11 years and I still can’t figure out what their behavior means at any given moment. I think putting their noses to the ground is just one of those weird donkey things. Half the time I put their halters on, they stand for me with heads up, the other...

I'm glad that you were finally able to get Jeffrey home. I hope your experience with Jeffrey is as wonderful as mine has been with my 2 donks. He is a beautiful little donkey. Have fun getting to know each other.

Glad you said what I’ve been thinking. That individuals’ post yesterday was both insensitive and unwarranted.

My 4 minis are also on full time grass. I just keep an eye on them in the morning in early spring because of the high sugar content. By mid May free pasture grass all the time.

So sorry.

I’ve been anxiously following this thread and I too am hoping for the best for Dapper. We ALL miss things that appear to be so obvious when we step back. I’m sending lots of positive energy your way. You can figure out the if’s, when’s and why’s after this is behind you. Stay strong.

So sorry. I’m sending positive energy in your little mares direction. I hope that she’ll soon be on the mend.

First thing this morning, I spoke with my vet regarding Cooper's stallion-like behavior. She said that his chasing my mares and mounting them is not unusual however, she said that his behavior after he mounts my little hussy donkey, the flehming and rolling around in the dirt is in her...
